IT:AD:OSS
Summary
Notes
My take on it is
- Share as much as possible. Share everything that you can – the more eyes on it, the more bugs are found.
- I am not advocating share the IP of your product.
- But consider sharing everything except specialized technology that is non protectable by law.
- Most of the rest is really trivial boiler plate stuff that the more people who see it the better.
